Camp Fenton/Fallon: Where Fashion Dreams Come True

Last night, Dana Lorenz — the genius jewelry designer behind both Fenton, Fallon and Fenton/Fallon for J.Crew — invited a lucky crew of editors and bloggers into her lower east side store for a sort of luxury summer camp. Long tables were stocked with chains, studs, pearls, vintage crystals, beads, leather, out of this world pendants and anything else you'd possibly want to wear around your neck (or wrists). Everyone was given pliers and piles of jump rings to connect their baubles, a brief how-to from Dana, a cocktail, and some jelly beans.

DJ Belle de Jour played some seriously inspiring tunes and the caramel corn kept the energy up — though the thrill of learning how to mix industrial chains with ladylike pearls from the master would have been enough to keep us going for hours. Our results, above!
